I don’t think that I would agree with Thom’s statement that we have “three right-wing television networks.” I do think, however, that we have three (or more) television networks that are more interested in furor than in facts.

An Inapt Inept Comparison 0

Susan Young notes the inept comparison:

So, after FBI agents searched the Palm Beach, Florida, home of former President Donald Trump on Monday and reportedly removed boxes of documents, it was interesting that the former president chose to compare the situation to Watergate, perhaps the most egregious example – until Trump himself – of an American president’s misuse of power.

“What is the difference between this and Watergate, when operatives broke into the [Democratic] National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States,” Trump said in a statement posted on social media Monday night.

Emma is, as my old boss* used to say, in error.

The Justice Department’s policy as regards investigations during election season is not to pause existing investigations. Rather, it’s to require the Secretary’s approval to institute new investigations.

*I may have mentioned this before, but I once asked my old boss–he was my first boss in a full-time job and an absolute pleasure to work for–how he got to be such a good boss.

He thought for a moment, then said, “I think about what my first boss would have done. Then I do the exact opposite.”

Twisted History 0

A history professor calls out the Supreme Supremacist Court for making stuff up. A snippet:

But the same fallacy appears in the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which struck down the constitutional right to abortion established by Roe v. Wade in 1973. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito invoked “history” 67 times. Whereas Thomas used history to show the deep roots of gun rights, however, Alito scoured the past to demonstrate the absence of abortion rights. “An unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973,” Alito asserted.

There’s just one problem with that statement: It’s false.
